I'm not sure why you think I would be. On the extremely unlikely chance that you're asking the question in good faith, I took advantage of it in my twenties. Since came back. My brother has been taking advantage of his right since he was 18, and is still doing so 15 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It amazes me people think ending freedom of movement can be a good thing. I mean seriously, the giveaway should be that it has the word freedom in there and any ending of freedoms should seldom be seen as anything other than a gross imposition on our personal liberties. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2020 I don't understand what the argument is supposed to be here. The fact that lots of people, for lots of different reasons, are not in a position to take up the ability to settle overseas in the next 6 months doesn't mean that the right to do so is worthless, or that they wouldn't take it up at another time. This is obvious, surely, so what is the point? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’m from the south, and know plenty of people who previously or currently live/work either side of the border. Nordies are welcome to dual British-Irish citizenship to continue benefiting from freedom of movement but I’m not sure making Unionists apply for Irish passports was the Tories’ plan.

Whilst not labelling myself as a 100% remainer, I have given it serious thought and we have discussed it as a family. Age and finance is somewhat against me uprooting to another country, but we have genuinely discussed it in a level of detail beyond just a chatter. If things genuinely go bad, we would look to get out, yes. Though I’m not sure how. My nipper got the degree they were after today and has good friends and connections in Switzerland and Austria. We’re all hoping something concrete will eventually spring from that. My main feeling if they left, would be a tinge of envy. If Scotland were to manage to split, I have work and family connections and that would be a massive massive consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 My impression is the people that are delighted about the end to freedom of movement are the same ones who when they have to queue in Benidorm airport for longer will scream bloody murder. I just can’t see how any one sees it as a good thing unless you have yet to realise it applies to you and not just Jonny Foreigner who you pretend stole your fruit picking job 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about it. And I'm getting my Irish passport to ensure I keep my free movement so i can do so in future. Although whether I'm going to do it or not has basically zero relevance unless you're going to expand on your point a little?

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Freedom of movement is a bit of misnomer anyway. Theres not much freedom of movement for individuals outside the EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres not much freedom of movement for individuals outside the EU Why does that make freedom of movement within the EU a misnomer? And if there's very little outside of the EU, doesn't that make the freedom of movement within the EU even better? I'm still struggling to see what point you're trying to make here... unless it was genuinely a straw poll on how many VTers reading this particular thread were going to move to a country in the EU?
